The Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe will carry out a monitoring visit in Denmark from 3 to 5 October 2012. Congress Rapporteurs Julia COSTA, Portugal (L, EPP/CD), and Jean-Pierre LIOUVILLE, France (R, SOC), will examine the follow-up of the commitments made by this member State in the field of local and regional democracy. Denmark ratified the European Charter of Local Self-Government in 1988. On 3 and 4 October, meetings will be held in Copenhagen, on 5 October in Dragør, Sorø and Maribo. The report on the situation of local and regional democracy in Denmark will be submitted for approval at a meeting of the Congress’s Monitoring Committee in 2013 and subsequently debated at a Plenary Session.
